Hi Khalid Mehmood, I have sent you a link that may help you out,HP DV8 aren't the best to get apart, i would test the power adapter first and check that it isn't the flex on power adapter as this sometimes brakes so it could be the power adapter and not the dc jack.Hope this helps.
I have a 60 watt solder iron and I'm replacing the jack on a samsung np-305e5a and I'm having issues getting the solder to give to the point of releasing the old jack. I bought a solder pump but this jack just doesn't want to give. I have never had this issue like this before the solder iron is 60 w but cheap I'm wondering if the iron went out already. Any advise or am I just not getting a good connection with the solder iron?because once I pull it away and try to melt the solder wire it melts.
Hi it is very nice of you that you asked me well my problem is this where we connect our charger connector inside pc the connector is not working some times if i press wire or shake it then it works but i want to replace it and i tried to open this HP DV8 entertainment pc it is too much difficult to open I hope that you could do some good help to me thanks.
The volts from the wall is fine, but when I test the plug after the brick, it gives a voltage reading that jumps all over the place, from 18v to 40v and in between. My adapter is rated for 18.5v. Also it won't charge my laptop anymore and forced a shutdown which prompted me testing it.
Thanks my friend, i have a problem with AC jack from Gateway NV76r... i will try to fix it using you video :D :D Thanks again and sorry for my bad english. Cheers !
Nice video :) I'm trying to figure out if this applies to my situation. When I plug my charger into the wall, the light on the charger lights up. But then, when I plug the charger into the laptop, the light goes out on the charger and nothing happens. The only way to get the light on the charger on again to to unplug and plug it back into the wall outlet. I've taken the whole thing apart all the way down to the motherboard and I don't see anything obvious. I did notice that a few screws were missing that used to hold the motherboard in place but I doubt that would be the cause. I have also tried taking the battery out and powering the laptop without the battery. Any ideas?
You need all the screws that holds the motherboard because they are grounding the electricity the computer itself so you don't get electricity going through the metal plate. it can also be that you screwed the wrong screws in the wrong holes so that maybe the screw that are in the wrong holes actually leading electricity where it should not be! That might work for you i think :) I hope you solve it :)
Hi I own the Acer Aspire E1-571G which its power jack was loose and sometimes not charging the battery , once I open the laptop and tried to fix the power jack loose connection wire , however suddenly my Iron solder shortcutted to the power jack body and sparked and my laptop never turn on anymore , I guess polar diode connected to power input socket may harmed I really appreciated to have any advice or repair procedure for this issue
Awsome video! I have a problem whith my laptop regarding bad jack dc. I first noticed the problem when my power adapter started to heat up at an alarming level and after that my battery started to die on me, it charges now about 15-20% of it's original value. I have a HP DV7 1095oe and am thinking of getting a dc power jack socket plug on ebay to fix this. Is it worth it? Thanks!
You get what you pay for the going rate is £65 or so for dc jack repair, Practice you soldering.if you check out some of my other dc jack repairs you should get an idea of how to do it,Thanks for watching.
Thanks its very useful video.. Dear, my laptop HP EliteBook 8470p, the problem is battery 1: charging, battery 2: not present and I replaced the battery and the problem still, please help me
plz help mine laptop is packard bell tk85 acer group when i plug charger light flashing blinking but when laptop is closed charging perfectly ???????????????????????????????????? what happens thnks
Holy-Terrorist:>*=* Omg, i haves lag to look your video, and i dont know really the perfect diagram of "DC JACK", of i have problem connection about it and try to know about it. I speak french and some english.
Good glad you got it sorted,sometimes you have to apply a bit of solder to help it get the heat into the joint.thanks for watching.
Cool Glad you got it sorted, it sounded as if not enough heat from the iron,glad the video helped you out.
Thanks Shan; and Thanks for watching.
I like the dc jack with the cable going to the board instead of soldered to the board. All companies should do it that way. Thanks. Good video.
Your welcome Cesar,Hope all goes ok.Thanks for watching.

Nice and clear and easy to follow, good video.

Your thumbnail is deceiving, it shows a picture of a DC jack in the motherboard but in the video you deal with an external jack.
sorry it never helped you out, Thanks for watching.
Hi if you give me some info Laptop make mod, is it the power connector usb ect i will see what i can do.

Why did you not SAVE TIME, and test for 19.5 DC volts at the DC female socket as a FIRST step?
i Don't remember why not, but yes you are correct best practice is to check output voltage from the power supply and output of the dc jack on the pcb

sounds to me like you have a short circuit somewhere. try another charger on it first and go from there. I have seen this before.

I wonder why they went with double wires in this laptop. Is that common?

Soldering is the only way,get yourself a cheap iron and you should beabull to fix it.Thanks for watching.
Thanks its very useful video..
Dear, my laptop HP EliteBook 8470p, the problem is battery 1: charging, battery 2: not present and I replaced the battery and the problem still, please help me
On this repair it did not require any flux as i am using 4 cor solder so flux is applied as the the solder is heated.Thanks for watching.
try putting some more solder paste on it... Or try cleaning the iron..... If that does not wok,, buy a new iron
Thanks Glad you enjoyed it.
Its a tip mod i sometimes use if i haven't got a small enough tip handy.Thanks for watching.
Im 15 and i dont have a soldering tool, i have a problem with my dc jack, can i do something else besides soldering?
I prefer to use automatic wire strippers. There around £20 you can buy them cheaper but a cheaper make
Thankyou for being detailed! This video helped alot!
Thanks Freddie.
